Chapel Of The Chimes

Related

Beautiful, light-filled chapel within the Chapel of the Chimes complex in Oakland. Seats approximately 130. Jazz concerts are held monthly as part of the Jazz at the Chimes series.

Chapel of the Chimes was founded in 1909 as a crematory and columbarium—a building dedicated exclusively to the placement and honoring of cremated remains. The structure was expanded and re-built in 1928 based on designs by Julia Morgan—one of the premier architects of the 20th century. Today, it is one of the Bay Area’s most beautiful buildings.
